Scheduled to go out Monday morning at 10:30.

Measuring has relied on poll participation, but only 9 people have responded so far and that leaves us without an accurate view. 
Here is what we know so far:
99 core contributors
16 quit Slack
8 answered a Slack poll saying they used Status every day.
So far that puts the number using Slack every day at 24.
Everyone still on Slack people help us out and answer that survey!
Just sharing the latest here:
Slack people, pls grab the Polly link in general or #peopleops - takes 1 second to fill and weāre dying to know the final results!
Kind of at a loss how to get a larger ("statistically signifigant) response to the poll; there is also the consideration of the 20+ contributors who had already left slack at the time of the poll to consider, and we also have carlās spreadsheet to consider (which is haphazardly filled)
Maybe it is time to reach out to individuals and ask one by one.
Together with Slack deactivate this looks pretty solid! Great work everyone 
Iād be happy to count the above as 80%+. @carl what do you say?

Some more votes came in overnight. Poll is closing in ~ 30 min - and this is how itās looking like:
Copying the reasons why not since they are interesting (and most of them already in the works by @Chad and team):
A 2 days ago
Not knowing who is who. The fact that I keep closing the desktop app since Iām used to the way slack buttons work - when I click on the red button in the top left corner it closes the app, while on slack it just hides it. Itās a bit annoying.
B 2 days ago
Nothing. I use Status everyday, and also slack everyday as a backup communications tool since Status desktop is still quite unreliable.
C 2 days ago
Reliability
D 2 days ago
the main thing is reliability; as well as some features (private channels, @mentions, files sharing. I also really struggle with the names/not knowing whoās who, and not having a multi-people DM option.
E 2 days ago
I think my team are still on slack most of time. But I still open my Status app to see the information in other public chats.
F a day ago
Iāve only just started this week, so I couldnāt use it last week.
G a day ago
People are much less responsive in Status; Iām having to resort to Slack/email for important things.
H a day ago
Same as before - speed, bugs, sync issues, lack of media uploads, contact list, wallet, fave chats.
I a day ago
- update on desktop deleted all my previous data, didnāt know that it was necessary to rename folder, so started from scratch again 2. 1 day of history, 3. sometimes history is not retrieved even for 1 day 4. @mentions to ping specific person mentioned in the channel - now feel like more disconnected and not sure person have read the message
J a day ago
Still want Status to indicate when new messages come (message counter like in whatās app, telegram etc.). Also some sound indication would be great! Another thing is private channels, images and videos exchanging.
K a day ago
Nothing
L a day ago
I donāt have the time or inclination to remember peopleās anonymous names. Weāre meant to be using Status to get work done and I need to know who Iām talking to without cross referencing a spreadsheet / list.

Status doesnāt run well on Windows. Currently use a VM but this is very slow, currently trying to get it set up through windows linux subsystem. However thereās a problem with multiple platforms: Users on one platform do not carry across their contacts, so if you add people on one platform, and they add you to see their name, when you open the same account on another platform (eg mobile vs desktop), your contacts need to be re-added for that platform. However, other users already have you in their contact list for the other platform, and cannot remove or re-add, so you end up with the pseudo-anonymous names on one platform. This also happens when I download another version for the same platform, unless Iām doing something wrong.

The biggest barrier I face is the inconsistency between mobile and desktop. I receive messages better on mobile one day and desktop the next, but the history of messages wonāt show up on both so if Iām having a conversation with 1 person in mobile one day when itās working and then only get their message on desktop the next day, I have to remember what the messages were from mobile the previous day.

Functionality is not there

worry of missing messages, not knowing who is who by the names. Canāt really see if people have acknowledged my message, like slack has the emojiās.
Would be interested in knowing more from M. The current Windows build is relatively old already, but would be nice to know what the issues with it are at the moment.
I donāt know who M might be, but I know @Dani is (or was until recently?) a Windows user - so he might be able to help
@pedro never downloaded the windows version - thought there was only ubuntu. Very happy to hear, will definitely install in prague!
Looks like the experiment was a success, great job everyone!
